Unknown illness in my loft


I'm going crazy here with an unknown illness in my loft. I have birds in quarantine all over the place and have lost two. My old fellow, Gus, seventeen years old died a week ago. His mate was ill, but she survived. Then a few days ago I lost a hen, a racer, who had looked fine the day before. Good feather, good weight, no symptoms of illness the night before. In the morning she was hunkered down in her cubby, had difficulty standing. She died within a couple of hours even though I got her out and on heat and meds. Both birds had crops full of fluid. I've been watching my birds closely, as this began several weeks ago with a bird that went light. Since then several have vomited. Lots of spinach looking poop. I've medicated everyone for everything under the sun. Scrubbed the lofts. Gone through a gallon of bleach. Consult with vet, he says I'm doing exactly what he would do. I was going to have a necropsy done on the second bird that died, but it is $235. If I loose any more, I'll have to bite the bullet and get it done. I'm just going to have to keep on top of things till whatever this is burns itself out. It's a bummer! I have no idea where it came from. No new birds in my lofts.
